ACCESSORIES

In the world of television, a character’s wardrobe is never a random decision, especially when it comes to accessories. Among the most telling items are luxury bags. These bags are not just accessories but symbols that convey wealth, taste, and aspiration, depending on the wearer and the context. Often, a luxury bag signifies a character’s transition into a new social realm, or sometimes it reinforces their status with understated elegance. A single shot of a carefully chosen designer handbag can add more depth to a character’s story than an entire subplot. 1. Carrie Bradshaw’s Fendi Baguette in ‘Sex and the City’ When the Fendi Baguette debuted in the late ’90s, it became a global sensation, largely due to Carrie Bradshaw. Her iconic line, “It’s a Baguette,” when correcting a mugger, wasn’t just humorous—it was a moment that solidified the bag’s status as a recognizable luxury item. Beyond fashion, the Baguette became a reflection of Carrie’s character: independent, trend-savvy, and aware of the social power of style. 2. Bridget’s Burberry Tote in ‘Succession’ In Season 4 of Succession, Tom Wambsgans mocks Bridget’s oversized Burberry tote, calling it a “ludicrously capacious bag.” This quip became a memorable line and highlighted how fashion can […]

TAG Heuer has unveiled three new additions to its iconic Monaco collection, perfectly timed with the high-octane weekend of the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500. These fresh releases not only celebrate the brand’s enduring legacy in motorsports but also bring new innovations to the square-cased design that has become synonymous with racing precision. Monaco Chronograph Stopwatch The Monaco Chronograph Stopwatch is a nod to the racers who used to rely on pit-wall clocks. This 39mm timepiece features a black-and-white dial reminiscent of TAG Heuer’s 1960s dashboard timers. The black DLC-coated titanium case exudes a robust track-ready look, and the perforated calfskin strap mirrors the texture of classic racing gloves. The watch is powered by the Calibre 11 automatic movement, and only 970 pieces will be made, priced at 9,600 CHF (approximately $11,614). Monaco Chronograph x Gulf The collaboration between TAG Heuer and Gulf Oil returns with a limited edition of 971 pieces, honoring the 1971 Le Mans race where Steve McQueen’s cinematic legacy was solidified.

G-Shock’s MT-G collection takes a leap into the age of AI with the release of the MTGB4000, a carbon-fiber timepiece whose case strength and finish were optimized by generative AI. The result is a watch that blends human expertise with cutting-edge technology, retaining its renowned durability while reducing its bulk. Two Models for a New Era The MTGB4000 comes in two variations: the MTGB4000-1A, priced at $1,250, and the MTGB4000B1A2, which retails for $1,350. Both models feature a frame constructed from layers of carbon and glass-fiber, giving the watch an impressive layered appearance along its sides. The design incorporates an advanced Dual Core Guard system, which absorbs shocks before they can affect the internal module. Design and Craftsmanship The design of the MTGB4000 maintains the signature MT-G aesthetic. The watch features Sallaz-polished edges that catch the light, with a combination of hairline and mirror finishes that shift from gloss to grain. A sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating completes the dial, which is built in multiple tiers. The case-back, formed through metal-injection molding, not only enhances the sculptural depth but also ensures a 200-meter water resistance. The MTGB4000B1A2 is coated with a blue-grey ion-plated finish, evoking the look of twilight steel. […]

Tiffany & Co. and renowned artist Daniel Arsham have once again merged the worlds of jewelry and sculpture with their latest collaboration: the Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel. A true work of art, this exclusive item is a reinterpretation of the humble penny, transforming it into a luxurious and collectible masterpiece. Only 39 of these unique pieces were created, each meticulously hand-finished in New York, making them a rare addition to any collection. Art Meets Craftsmanship Inspired by the 1885 Great Seal penny and his own 2013 Study of the Eroded Penny, Arsham incorporates polished crystal veins that break through a greenish patina, giving the penny an aged and eroded appearance. The design evokes the sensation of an artifact discovered in a future archaeological dig, yet it feels strikingly modern due to Arsham’s signature fractured motif. The Hidden Jewel Inside each penny vessel is a hidden treasure: a Tiffany & Co. HardWear necklace designed by both Arsham and Tiffany’s studio. Crafted from 18-karat white gold, the necklace is encrusted with over 1,000 diamonds and 500 tsavorites, totaling nearly 10 carats of sparkling gems. The necklace itself draws inspiration from Tiffany’s 1962 archive, giving the entire piece a sense of timelessness and luxury. […]
